Neither of my parents smoked - that is my mother used to smoke 25 cigarettes a day before she had children, but then she stopped completely. When they friends visiting, they would pass around a dish with cigarettes and small cigars. Everyone - as I remember - smoked then even if they normally didn't. A bit strange because my mother warned us against smoking and explained about the risks. We three brothers smoked at some time as did my father. My sisters haven't, apart from hash of course. I and my little brother stopped a long time ago. The middle brother smoked right until he died from an unhealthy living and pneumonia (aged 75). -- Bertel Kolt, Denmark
